Pamela Hall, Dog Portraits - This exhibition and sale includes over 25 paintings depicting Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Cairn Terriers, Bulldogs, Clumber Spaniels, English Setters, Foxhounds, Norwich & Norfolk Terriers, Pointers, Pugs, Springer Spaniels, and West Highland White Terriers, to name a few. Renowned for her depiction of the effects of light, each dog is posed comfortably at home. Hall began her formal art education in high school with weekend classes at the Cleveland Institute of Art. She completed a Bachelor of Science in Art Education at Ohio State University. Her interest in portraiture began in college when she studied figure drawing with Sidney Chafitz. Heretofore known to a select group of private collectors, Hall's paintings are traditional depictions of our favorite pets, but with a slightly modern perspective. Each is posed at home, with natural lighting, creating a luminescent, ethereal quality which captures the individual character of her sitters. She is a member of the American Society of Portrait Artists and the Portrait Society of America. Hall currently resides in Fredericksburg, Texas and is currently accepting new commissions.

For more information on her work or available paintings, please contact the William Secord Gallery at 212-249-0075 or wsecord@dogpainting.com
